We

F
A
B
Okay,
member
call
in.
E
E
A
B
This
is
regarding
the
public
hearing
this
evening
is
for
the
property
located
at
1404
through
1408
greenleaf
street
zoning
case
21,
21zm,
jv-0067,
donna,
lee
floater,
architect
and
russell
and
paula
wagner.
Property
owners
request
a
variation
from
section
6-6-4-4.
B
Of
the
evanston
zoning
code
to
allow
a
non-conforming
structure
to
be
increased
in
size
and
expand
the
non-conforming
residential
use
in
said
structure
for
the
construction
of
an
addition
to
an
existing
non-conforming
residential
structure
in
the
b1
business
district.
The
zoning
board
of
appeals
is
the
determining
body
for
this
case,
in
accordance
with
section
6-3-8-10
of
the
evanston
zoning
code.
B
A
H
There
took
me
a
minute
to
figure
out
how
I'm
doing
this
on
my
phone,
which
I
don't
usually
do
so
anyway.
Now
I
am
you
can
hear
me,
which
is
good.
Okay,
the
property
at
it
actually
had
it's
one
property
with
one
pin,
but
it
has
three
addresses
the
front.
Building
is
a
two
flat.
Well,
the
first
floor
is
a
storefront
where
the
homeowner
currently
runs
his
business
from,
and
the
second
floor
is
an
apartment
where
the
homeowners
current
the
property
owners
currently
live.
The
first
floor
is
1404.
H
So
all
of
these
different
addresses
are
on
one
property,
so
I'll
speak
to
the
property
in
the
back,
which
is
a
little
frame
house,
that's
been
there
for
a
hundred
years,
at
least,
which
is
in
sore
need
of
some
remodeling
and
work,
and
that's
what
the
homeowners
are
proposing
to
do.
They
have
owned
the
property
for
17
years.
As
I
said,
he
runs
his
business
from
the
storefront.
They
live
in
the
apartment
above
they
have
the
same
tenants
for
the
same.
The
whole
17
years,
they've
owned
the
building
or
the
property.
H
Those
tenants
decided
to
move
out
earlier
this
summer,
which
gave
the
homeowners
an
opportunity
to
get
in
there
and
really
see
what
needed
to
be
done
and
making
the
decision
that
they
would
like
to
live
in
that
rear
home
themselves
and
then
rent
the
apartment
front
in
the
front
building
to
it
to
another
tenant.
H
The
structure
in
the
back
is
a
little
frame
house
that
there
are
some
pictures,
I'm
not
sure
what
you
guys
have
been
able
to
see
when
we
did
the
dapr
meeting,
there
were
some
photographs
included
in
the
in
the
packet.
So
if
you've
seen
those
you
can
see
how
needed
the
work
is.
H
So
what
the
homeowners
are
proposing
to
do
is
do
a
second
story
edition,
which
is
approximately
half
the
size
of
the
floor
below
and
add
on
the
the
additional
square
footage
to
the
footprint
is
less
than
a
hundred
square
feet.
There's
an
enclosed
porch
on
the
front
that
we're
going
to
take
off
and
rebuild
and
make
it
slightly
bigger.
H
So
and
there
are
no
issues
with
setbacks
with
the
square
footage
limits
with
impermeable
services
limits.
The
only
thing
we're
asking
for
relief
from
the
zoning
code
is
that
increase
to
a
currently
non-conforming
use,
which
has
been
there
for
100
years
and
russell
and
paula
may
want
to
add
a
few
words.
I
I
We
moved
to
evanston
in
1982,
so
I
could
pursue
a
career
in
restoration
of
fine
musical
instruments.
We
moved
into
a
really
poor
house
we're
really
the
worst
house
in
the
neighborhood
1303
washington
street.
It's
at
the
corner
of
washington
and
ashbury.
We
raised
her.
Two
kids
and
paula
went
back
to
school,
became
a
nurse
worked
at
evanston
hospital
for
years
and
then
went
back
to
school
and
became
a
nurse
practitioner
recently
retired.
But
she's
volunteering
with
the
city
of
evanston
to
give
vaccines
bless
her
heart.
I
I
I
was
walking
around
and
saw
this
building
in
1404
green
leaf
and
just
fell
in
love
with
the
north
facing
windows,
because
they'd
be
ideal
for
my
business,
and
so
we
bought
it.
I
I
guess
that's
about
it,
the
the
materials
I
read
through
the
packet
and
the
materials
have
been
prepared
beautifully
by
the
city.
I
mean
the
report
from
the
dap
dapper
committee
was
spot
on.
So
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer.
D
D
And
melissa,
can
you
help
me
understand
what
the
zoning
changes
where,
basically
it
sounds
like
we're?
Increasing
the
intensity
might
not
be
the
right
word,
but
the
intensity
of
a
non-conforming
use
basically
increasing
the
square
footage.
Or
how
would
you
describe
that.
G
H
No,
no,
oh,
I
I'd
have
to
look
at
a
picture.
The
north
side
of
the
little
house
in
the
backyard
has
an
enclosed
glass
porch
on
it
that
that's
where
the
increase
would
happen
in
removing
that
and
making
that
slightly
bigger
to
the
west.
H
D
One
additional
question:
have
there
been
conversations
with
your
adjacent
neighbors
related
to
the
work
that
you're
proposing
to
be
done.
H
B
A
F
I've
lived
at
1028
wesley
for
25
years,
so
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
spy
on
the
wagners
the
whole
time.
They've
lived
there,
and
what
I
can
really
say
is
that
russell
is
the
kind
of
craftsman
he
repairs
instruments
that
when
they
built
a
garage
they
made
it
out
of
brick.
F
When
I
asked
to
borrow
a
measuring
tape,
he
wants
to
know
if
I
want
calipers,
so
I
am
sure,
and
all
the
neighbors
around
are
excited
to
see
what
he'll
do
with
the
house,
because
he
is
an
impeccable
craftsman
and
everything
that
he's
done
to
the
front
of
the
existing
building.
The
back
the
garage
his
grounds,
the
pots
in
front
of
his
house
have
always
been
such
an
addition
to
the
neighborhood.
A
D
C
Okay
same
here,
I'm
a
support.
It's
it's
a
good
project,
it's
a
pretty
straightforward
and
it's
good
to
have
it
just
because
it
is
in
let's
say
in
the
general
use
of
the
neighborhood,
and
it
will
support
the
the
neighborhood.
F
Okay,
echo
my
board
members,
and
I
also
am
in
favor
for
this
project.
A
Thank
you,
I'm
also
in
support.
I
like
what's
happening
back
in
this
district.
I
think
that
every
time
I
go
over
there
I
see
a
new
little
business
and
I
think
that's
great
and
they
all
seem
like
they're,
smaller
home
owned
businesses.
So
I
like
this
project
for
that
area,
and
now
that
we've
all
said
that
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
read
the
standards
variation
standards,
I'm
going
to
read
them
slowly.
If
any
of
my
board
members
disagree,
please
stop
me
for
variation
to
be
approved.
A
A
A
Staff
has
determined
that
this
standard
has
been
met.
The
proposed
expansion
will
allow
an
existing
accessory
structure
to
be
improved
upon
so
that
it
remains
functional
for
current
and
future
occupants.
As
a
dwelling
unit,
number
three
has
a
hardship
or
practical
difficulty
that
is
peculiar
to
the
property.
This
standard
has
been
met.
A
A
A
Number
five
is
not
based
exclusively
upon
a
desire
to
extract
additional
income
from
the
property
or
public
benefit
to
the
whole
will
be
derived.
This
standard
has
been
determined
to
be
met.
The
expansion
is
intended
to
improve
the
functionality
of
the
structure
as
an
accessory
dwelling
unit
number
six
does
not
have
a
hardship
or
practical
difficulty
that
was
created
by
any
person
have
any
interest
in
the
property.
A
This
standard
has
been
tournament
to
be
met.
The
existing
accessory
dwelling
unit
to
be
increased
in
size
has
been
located
on
the
property
before
the
corner,
current
owner's
ownership
use
and
the
occupancy
of
the
subject,
property
number
seven
is
limited
to
the
minimum
change
necessary
to
alleviate
the
particular
hardship
or
practical
difficulty.
A
D
I'll
make
a
moment,
I
move
in
the
matter
of
1404
to
1408
green
leaf
street
zba
item
21z
and
jv-0067.
C
B
Yeah
as
soon
as
I
unmute
myself,
a
chair,
call
in.
A
B
D
I
have
a
question
before
we
adjourn
and
this
is
a
question
for
melissa:
do
we
need
to
formally
submit
in
writing
our
intention
to
continue
on
the
join
boards
in
the
new
calendar
year
or
how
would
you
prefer
us
communicate
with
you.
G
No,
we
don't
need
anything
in
writing
just
as
long
as
we
know
what
your
intent
is,
because
we're
going
to
roll
over
everyone
into
the
new
committee.
Unless
you
don't
want
to
be
a
part
of
it
anymore,
but
please
be
a
part
of
it,
so
we're
hoping
for
a
smooth
transition
so
that
zba
continues
as
normal
through
the
end
of
this
year
and
then,
starting
in
january.
We've
got
that
new
committee
with
everyone
appointed
and
ready
to
go.
D
Thank
you.
I
move
that
we
adjourn
the
meeting.
